though I had some problem with sea water It also ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxa-FNYUOM93a388gi9a4brtSCEVmrHgJH land for finding any things very easily. (thought it would work as normal due to it being water proof within certain parts of the detector), on dry land and sand worked well. My first one, so still have lots to learn
I appreciate your attitude and ethics for metal detecting keep up the good work! Nice job bringing home the trash. The more people that do that while metal detecting the better we will all be. Thank you.
Good call picking up the glass, very kind of you! Keep working that area, the old history dictates that there should be some good stuff there! Good luck!
I use to live in New Port Richie and use to swim at that beach! Everyone use to keep tripping on a big hunk of metal and we kept throwing back out to deeper water. You guessed it! That big hunk of metal turned out to be a big hunk of fused together Spanish coins!!!! All the while I owned a Garrett dealership and had detectors in my car! I still haven't stopped kicking my butt for that!
+Glenn Jones Did you really? Hahaha. Did you lose anything I can try finding? And keeping? Hahahahaha. No way! You're joking! Oh wow. So obviously someone found it. Damn..... :/
I just know that old beach has some awesome potential. Lots of old style beaver tail tabs. I would be interested in see what your next hunt finds there. Good luck. Thanks for sharing.
Corroded zinc pennies...the bane of my metal detecting existence! Along with pull tabs. Thanks for the pinpointer demo. I picked up the land or sea for San Diego's rocky, mineralized beaches. HH
+JP Diggzzit Hahaha! You're telling me. You're very welcome. I enjoyed doing it. Fantastic. I don't think you'll be disappointed. There's another short demo in the video I'm loading right now. But it's with junk that I found so not sure if it'll be very helpful. Thanks for watching and HH to you as well!
At about 8 minutes into your video you pulled up an older pulltab. I like finding those because it says two things... 1. The vintage pultab era was a lot closer to the silver era & 2. Nobody has detected there before unless they skipped over the pulltab signals - in which case that's always good because if they skipped the pulltabs they also skipped the gold.
Oh I hadn't thought about it being close to the silver era, that's great thinking though!! Yea, I'll be digging all those pull tab signals for sure. :)
+Bobby Williamson I'm glad you found me! And yes, that's a no-no for sure. Metal Detecting 101, take everything you dig, regardless if it's trash or not. :)
I have the same exact detector and scoop, the darn scoop is heavier than the detector it looks to be made from stainless steel with a heavy duty shovel handle. However, my coil is a little different more round and thicker. I wonder if the store I bought mine from swapped out my coil
The Natural Spring is South of the Crystal beach pier, there is another pier a private one just South of where you filmed. It's 20 yards off shore. It's interesting what you are doing, we think we may start dectecting as well it looks fun. Thanks for what you do.
+Jeff Gater Oh is it? See I wasn't sure exactly where the spring was. Now I have a better idea though. Thanks! Oh yea, it's a great hobby. Very fun because you never know what you might find! Thank you for watching.
You are the perfect reason, why Metal detectors should get more credit. People really should look at the trash we pick up, I may not show the trash in my videos I find I think I will start showing the trash as well thank you.
I have hunted this beach numerous times. I always walk away with several hundred dollars worth of goodies! The secret is to NOT hunt the beach! Hunt the mangrove brushes. When the tide comes in it washes up numerous articals into the mangroves and they just sit there waiting to be discovered! Go back again and follow my advice. Also use a Minelab Excalibur detector. It works better for that beach. Great video!
I love looking at the ocean in your videos and at least you got some glass off the beach. It was fifty six degrees here in Wisconsin were I live and I was finally able to metal detect for the first time this year ! I went out Sat, Sun and Mon and I only got a few tokens and lots of clad but I was a happy camper. Thanks for your video and happy hunting !
+Maurilio Zamora I'm glad you like it. Yes, I saved a few feet for sure! Hey 56 is nice! That's good that you were able to get out! Well that's good, yea better something instead of nothing! HH to you as well and thanks for watching!
+Jakes Life Good, so it's not just me. Hahaha. I'll be trying again during low tide for sure. I'll take the F19 out the next time. I'm just scared because the box isn't waterproof. But I'll rig something up just in case. :)
+Youdig Oh really? It's funny you say that. I took it out over the weekend for Howard Park and dug three bogus signals in the wet sand. I thought my setting where jacked up but no. That video is coming out tomorrow so you'll see what I'm talking about. I was really hoping it would do well at the beach. Well, it did good on dry sand, not so much the wet stuff. :/
+She Detector like every other vlf single frequency my makro racer go only 5 cm / 2inch deep in wet water for a 1 euro coin, but in dry sand is quite good apparently , from what i saw the only vlf single freq that doing ok in water / wet sand seem to be at pro, after that it in the realm of multrifeq vlf like fbs or bbs system (etrac,excaliburII,sovereign,ctx3030,safari) or pulse induction like your garrett. Btw i dont know how you do to answer this amount of comment !!!! big up for that.
Youdig Ooh really? That's odd that is can't go very deep in the water. I've heard the AT Pro doesn't handle salt water very well but I'm not really sure. Hahaha, well it's getting harder to answer every comment. I might have to start only answering a few! Hehehe, we shall see!
Peers are usually great to detect. A pavilion was built over the water at our lake back in the 1870's and burnt down in the 1960's and all was left were the pylons that it use to sit on. The water was low so I detected around there and found a Morgan silver dollar with the date 1900. My first ! Found a lot of fishing lures and beer caps too ! Hope you go back at low tide. May find something good. Great video as always.
Oh wow, that's incredible! Yea, those fishing items seem to be everywhere. Hahaha. I sure will, that's a positive! :D Thank you! And thanks for watching.
Those ‘space pods’ are lead fishing weights. Lead is valuable at the metal recycling place. Save all your lead, in a small bucket. When you have enough, take it to the metal place for cashola $$$
Hi,another finely shot video,i have a tip for your scoop,if you put your handgrip at the2 oclock position,you can back flick your hand to empty scoop and take the strain off your wrist,it works a treat,,try it at 1 oclock and adjust to whats best for you,2 works best for me. GL HH
That beach looks very promising maybe when it gets warmer go out a little further in the swimming area. With the water temp in the high 60's and low 70's its painful for me but refreshing in a way..
+R Adams Yea, I think it will produce...well I hope it will! Haha. Yea, I'll be going back for sure. I'm going to try to hit it during low tide soon and then venture out further once it's warmer.
I got my Raptor handle from The Gold Digger Metal Detectors. You can find it here: www.thegolddigger.com/product/raptor-pull-handle/ It's a back saver for sure!
+gaylemae You know, I didn't open it. It was just a tiny wad. I hadn't thought about opening it though. I'll have to remember that for next time though. Hopefully it wasn't a king's jewel or something! Hehehe.
Tampa a little far from me. I live in Los Angeles California and i metal detecting is one of my favorite, sure love to joining with you guys treasure hunting.
Ah yes. It was low tide when I got there so I started where the water usually was and worked my way out into the water. I should have done it the other way of course. I was still pretty new though. I didn't have any luck at this location though.
With the vinegar your using to clean the coins, add a teaspoon of table salt and stir till dissolved. It only takes minutes to start bubbling then scrub with a brush. But not for the old good coins, just the clad and pennies.
+wingrovedl I heard about that trick. I'll have to give it a try. It'll be great if it only takes a few seconds or minutes to start working. Thanks for the tip. I'll keep that in mind.
When you scoop up a load of sand, I noticed you ran your detector over the hole to see if you picked up the object. You dumped the sand in the scoop before checking it. You could have multiple objects in the hole. Good hunting!
Love your videos !! Learned a lot from watching them. I'm just getting into metal detecting because one it's awesome two I have access to tons of untouched historical sites that have a rich history. Keep posting! Hambone
Thank you! And thanks for watching. I'm glad I'm able to teach you something, even if it's only what NOT to do. Hahaha! That's great that you have access to sites like those. Hunt them slowly. To fast and you could miss something amazing.
+stacy wiley Can't tell. It was severely pitted :( But it was shiny on the areas that weren't pitted so I don't think it was very old. Hahaha, good to know! Thanks!
space pods .. aka: lead fishing weights :-) Love the vids.. keeps me motivated (along with a few other channels) to get my detector out and keep learning it :-) Keep em' coming.. you have a nice personality for your viewers !
Sure! Kellyco, The Gold Digger Metal Detectors, and probably several other detector retailors. I'm not sure if any ship internationally, not sure if that applies to you or not. Good luck!
It's been a real pleasure to watch you learn this interesting hobby. I'm not a detectorist myself but would like to be, simply can't afford it. I would suggest you watch the videos of Frederick Barnes, a young man from Australia who knows how to find good stuff. I really look forward to seeing you find your first really good piece. Good luck and keep looking down!
+Tom Oller Well I'm glad you've come along for the ride. :) Well it can be pretty expensive that's for sure. I'm sorry you can't join the hunt just yet. I'm sure you will one day. Alright, I'll look him up. Thanks for telling me about him. Hopefully it'll be soon! :D
+She Detector , thanks for the response. I think it's unlikely that I'll ever be able to get into it, (trying to survive on a small social security), but I can enjoy watching you and Tony Eisenhower and all the rest uncovering all sorts of treasure. I'm looking forward to your first good find almost as much as you are, lol. Don't let the meager pickings get you down. Perseverance will pay off and in the meantime you're learning a lot. The very best of luck to you and HH!!!
Tom Oller Oh ok. That's true! I watch other hunters and they find all sorts of awesome things. Hahaha, it'll come one day! I try not to. I know I have to dig a bunch of junk first before I get to the great stuff. I am learning a lot for sure. Thanks!
Yes and no. While on land it can sometimes be a pain but in the deeper water, I need it to be longer so I can reach it while keeping my head above water. :)
I like that new location you've found! Am guessing the pier might well have a lot of metal bits left over from the structure and maybe a lot of sinkers? (if the pier was used by lots of fisherman as they so often are) It would be interesting to see what is around that spring - hopefully people used it as a sort of wishing well of sorts? I think those sinkers are maybe called 'torpedo' sinkers? (but I prefer the 'space pod' name a lot better :) I admired your method of using the hole itself to rinse the sand out of Rex in the shallow water to get some water depth with the bonus of putting the soil back in the hole! Look forward to seeing you explore this ex-beach some more. (up at 5am next time? ;-) )
+Simon Burton Yea, I think you're probably right. Lots of dropped nails and suck. that explains the sinkers I found. :) Yea, I'll be heading out to it once it warms back up. Well, so long as it's not crazy deep. I can only swim down about 8 feet. :) But a wishing well springs would be fantastic!! Oh ok, very good to know. Haha yea, I like space pod better also. :) Yep, I figured why work harder when I could work smarter. :) Ha! We will have to see about that!
That's a great question! You want to put the tip of your scoop about 1-2 inches BEHIND your coil. When you find a target, put your foot behind your coil and then move the coil away. Place your scoop right in front of your toes. That should get the target for you almost every time. :)
She Detector I was looking at the vid of you on the beach that's not used as a swimming spot or the what use to be the pier and you keep missing it,the same thing happened to me at a beach here in Kirkland Washington juanita beach it seem to keep moving and then i thought it was a false signal then i remembered your vid and the question came to mind. Again thank you for your insite. 😊
+parsons585 I bought the actually metal scoop part from Myers Metal Detectors here in Tampa. You can order it online to though I think. Here's their link: www.myersdepot.com/ I'm sure tons of places carry the TRex scoops though. I had to buy the wood handle separately though. I got that from Lowes I think. It's a plain Ash handle that tapers at the bottom.
love this video again it's about learning you detector and what it finds. I went detecting on a family members estate. for first time ever I found a Buffalo Nickle 4 inches deep coin to old and corroded for date to be seen. found 5 Penny's all older than 1967. all with tesoro bandito 2. old detector but watching your video till I decide new one. these funds were In SC dirt 4 inches or deeper. wish my land and sea pinpointer was here now. all finds tucked away in my nice gold digger pouch per your videos. thanks Ronnie great product. thank you she detector
+ChicagoDigger Yes I really love it actually. If you're a beach hunter, I highly recommend it. It doesn't have issues like the Garrett carrot tends to have.
Just a tip - I noticed you are often off the mark when you go to scope or dig an item. Put down some items in plain sight and practice, noticing where they hit on your coil. As you now have two detectors - practice with both until you know the sweet spots. A few years of this and I still miss targets though so don't let it bother you if you're out a few inches ;) I'm from Canada - no detecting in the winter :(
+Digger D Yea, this hunt seemed like I needed three scoops for every target. And I was starting to get good about not missing my targets too :/ Ah well! Thanks for the tips! Yea, I bet it's pretty cold up there right now. Try to stay warm!
Hello, nice video. Can you provide a link to those magnets you use on the scoop? Also, did you simply place them on the scoop or are they secured to the scoop somehow? Thanks for your help and keep up the good work.
Hi! Thank you! And thanks for watching. I believe we picked them up from an ACE Hardware. But you can get similar ones from Lowes, Home Depot, or any other hardware store. They aren't anything fancy. Just make sure to get some with a hole in the middle so you can run zip ties through them to secure them to your scoop.
Oh of course! I got mine from The Gold Digger Metal Detectors. Here's the link to it: www.thegolddigger.com/product/t-rex-8-wide-wet-stainless-steel-sand-scoop/ It's a wonderful scoop! :)
Awesome vid, what camera are you shooting with? I am hoping to start shooting vids myself. I'm considering the GoPro Hero 4 Session. Thanks for sharing GL & HH.
+Cladiator Max Thank you! It's a GoPro Hero 4 Silver. Very cool. I highly recommend the Hero 4. It's got great quality and the battery lasts about 2 hours. The session is probably really great too. I've not seen any videos but I don't think it would be any worse than mine, better if anything. Thanks for watching! GL and HH to you as well.
Cool video. I just stared metal detecting and making videos. My first time was in Germany, I found so many WW2 relics. Tomorrow I am going to hunt a Florida beach for the first time with my new garret AT pro!
Schatzsucher - Metal Detecting Hahaha well trust me, a penny will always be nice. I'm still happy to find pennies. I just wish they weren't completely corroded due to the salt water.
The two "toothy things" are fence staples, for nailing wire to a wood post. The long fishing weight is a weight from a cast net, The "pointy thing" looks like it might be a hypo needle from a shot.
Nice vid and I had to chuckle when you wanted to "bust out the hammer to crack open the nail thingy" then again you know what they say, "when in doubt, bust out the hammer"! Hehe.............Nice location also you're lucky to have such nice beaches so close by. May I make a suggestion also about detecting locations? Now I dont know if legal in the US but where I am it is. Primary Schools or any Schools with play equipment paricularly Mulch or Tan Bark base play equipment. Ive pulled out 20 silver coins (rare for Australia compared to US) and well over $500 in clad in two months so far, anyway just a suggestion. HH and GL
+flash more Thank you! Hahaha, yes, very technical terms. Lol. Yea, I can't complain to much. Even if I'm only finding junk, at least I'm at the beach!Of course, I'm always open to tips and tricks. Wow really? That's a lot of coinage! I do plan to hunt the school playgrounds but I'm waiting until summer when all the kids and teachers are gone. I've not seen anything that says I can hunt on school grounds but I've also not seen anything that say's I can't. :)
For sure! Girls can get dirty too! :) That's great that you're able to get out twice a week at least. I usually only get to go once and it's on the weekends. :/ oh well! Better once than never. Well thank you! And thanks for watching.
This machine, Garrett Sea Hunter Mark II, runs about $650 at most places. Some might be a bit more but those usually have extra gear like an extra coil. It will find all kinds of metal especially if your discrimination is set to zero.
great videos! I'd grab the f19 and some coins and do some testing on how they ring up , test ,test ,test. then hunt some sports fields, I have the best luck there. can't wait to see you hit gold!
+TheCleanist Thank you! Yea, I was learning some sounds over the weekend, that video is coming out tomorrow. I'll try hitting that field again, away from the bleachers though. Maybe I'll find something. :)
great video , you have a lot of patience & good slow sweep with your coil,I use a sea hunter myself gerat machine, great machine , but you pretty much have to dig everything, its found me some nice gold rings,just keep doing what your doing, & when you least expect it wham!!! You'll hit a big one "you go girl"!!?
+CRF 2012 Thank you! Yes, I agree it's great at finding the smaller and deepest targets, I just wish they were gold. Hahaha! Yea, you're probably right. I'll be thinking it's another pull tab and it wont be. Thanks for watching!
Good video do you ever go to the ship wreck beaches to detect, I've seen them on TV and they can find some nice stuff jewelry and gems and gold I know they are some were in Florida, good hunting regards Tom
+Tom Larkins thank you. Not sure which beaches are the ship wreck ones. Do you know any names? I know there are shipwrecks off in the gulf and sometimes there are stories of stuff washing up here and there. I'll be hitting a few of the islands off the coast this summer. I'm hoping to find something there. :)
+She Detector 1715 Spanish treasure fleet on the east coast of FL is the biggest I believe...Treasure Coast. Hit it after a hurricane or big storm if you ever get the chance to go over. Good books on it...Kip Wagner, Pieces of Eight.
What happened to your new fisher machine? I would think you would try it in the water. I also like your shoes. Are they keeping out the sand from getting into the shoes? I use sandals from crocks shoes and sand keeps building up under my foot. I see you also running into the glass. I was informing you to have gloves on due to finding sharp objects. HH GL & God bless
+Gregory M Actually this hunt took place on the same day that I first took my Fisher out. I hunted the beach in the morning and then hit the park next. I just uploaded my Fisher video first. :) But I'm hesitant to take it near the water, only the coil and shaft is waterproof. I need to tape a bag around the box first...or something. Lol. Thank you, they are way better than no shoes. I'm very glad I had them at this dangerous beach! But they don't keep the sand out. Shells don't get in though so that's good. I have the same issue except it builds up under the shoe insert. No biggie, I rinse them out when I have to. Yes you were, I still haven't gotten better gloves yet. :( Soon! HH to you as well!
Watching you lift the basket full of wet sand reinforces my personal decision to never arm wrestle with you... (I would have to leave town)😂 Be Blessed,little granddaughter...😇🌹🌹🌹
Finding pull tabs and bottle caps is like a type of modern archaeology. If you want old things you need to go where people use to hang out in the 1800s if you can find a place like that it will be good.
Its tough detecting in the states. Hard pressed to find coins and jewelry. I moved abroad and they have never seen a metal detector before, they think i'm a marine biologist. No hunt is without reward. Even though it's the thrill of the hunt and daily exercise. I hope you find that jackpot one day.
Yea, there are usually many other hunters to compete with so it can be difficult for sure. Hahaha wow really? That's great, more treasure for you! Yea it's fun just to get out and hunt but it's even better when you find something awesome! Thanks for watching.
+Gary Bennett Thanks, I'll try to remember that. Yea for sure. Once it warms up I'll try getting to it. Not sure how deep it is or really where exactly. But it'll be cool looking for it. :)
It's the Deluxe Treasure Pouch with Zippers and it's sold by The Gold Digger Metal Detectors. You can check it out here: www.thegolddigger.com/product/gold-digger-deluxe-beach-pouch-w-zippers/
That hermit crab was really bookin it away! The wood from that pier could have rotted away years ago leaving the nails and bolts behind. It would be less frustrating in that particular spot to use a machine that can ignore iron.
+John Davis Haha yea. I think I scared it. That's true, I hadn't thought about that. :/ Yea, I'll have to go back with my new Fisher. That will be fun!
If you add plain table salt to the vinegar, it will help with removing corrosion from cupronickel coins. It'll solve the problem that baking soda presents.
You can get a brand new one from www.kellycodetectors.com/catalog/search/result/?c=&q=sea+hunter for $600. :) They also currently have a floor demo one for $510. It's a used machine.
a tip for using that detector in the future: when you find an item swing the coil over it and hold your detector over it then to pinpoint it pull your detector back until you don't hear the signal then your item should be at the front of the detector
Jake Henry I do that too. I've been watching detecting vids all morning and only one person used that technique. I guess she doesnt because she has that pinpointer handheld. I still do it anyway
+parsons585 Yea, the place I bought my scoop from doesn't sell it with the handle but I think you could buy it online somewhere with the handle. It'll cost you though. Also, I got the Raptor Pull Handle from The Gold Digger Metal Detectors. Here's their link: golddiggermetaldetectors.com/raptor.php
Thank you! I like your set up! Do you wear special foot protection for wading? Trying to get started so getting all the advice I can from you folks who have been hunting awhile! I retired from Disney and moved up to Georgia so I will be hunting some of these beaches along the Georgia/Carolina coasts plus go to Florida occasionally!
+parsons585 You're very welcome. Nothing special. I bought some water shoes from walmart for like $10. They won't protect me from getting stung by a stingray but lets just hope that never happens! Hahaha. All the other beach hunters I've seen do wear special shoes though. I think they are diving shoes that actually cover your ankles. They are about 6-8 inches tall with a zipper on the side. Those will keep a sting ray barb from going into your skin, or so they say. When I first started, I didn't even have a sand scoop. I was using a shovel. Lol. It wasn't very efficient. But it worked. Then after a little bit I bought a scoop. To get started, really all you need is a detector and a tiny shovel. You'll be slower and less efficient but there's nothing wrong with that. As you do it longer, you'll start trying different things and buying items that will increase your speed. Congrats on retiring! At least you're starting a hobby that will keep you busy and off the couch. Plus, who wouldn't want to spend their days on the beach? :D
I always enjoy watching your videos! I would have tried the area out of the water first on this hunt to get an idea of what might be there. Just my 2 cents. I have a name for your Fisher machine.."Sweeper". lol Just a thought! HH Greg from Palm Coast
+Gregory Hux Well thank you! That's a good idea. Hahaha, that's a good one. I'll have to add it to my list of potential names. :) HH to you Greg. Thanks for watching!
I hunted there about 6 years ago. My finds were similar with the addition of 2 dog tags (K-9). Lots of trash and not very productive. At that point, it was used mostly as a dog beach and it smelled like it.
+willied557 Oh yea? Well at least you found something cool. I would have been happy with dog tags. Lol. Yea, it's hit with dogs every day. Every time I've been there were several dogs playing with each other and in the water. But, that means what ever might have been there is gone already :(
I'm curious. Do you work as a product demonstrator for various companies? I don't mean to be so nosy but I think that if this is true than you have a dream job. Your videos are so informative and cover a semi-wide range of products that I'm somewhat envious. I think your videos are great and always await the next one.
+Dean Hansen I do not. Well not yet anyways, no telling what the future holds. :) I would love it if that were my job! I work a normal job mon-fri though :/ Well I started off buying the Sea Hunter, my scoop, and the Garrett pin pointer myself. I contacted the makers of my scoop (The Gold Digger Metal Detectors) and asked if they would be interested in sponsoring me. They said yes and sent me the Land or Sea, the Digger Pouch, and the Raptor Handle. They also sent a second Land or Sea and Digger Pouch for me to use for giveaways. Later on I was contacted by First Texas Texas (they make Teknetics, Bounty Hunter, and Fisher detectors) asking if I'd be interested in testing out their F19 LTD Pink Camo Metal Detector. I immediately jumped on that! So I get to play with these toys and I just talk about them and promote them a little bit. I don't just say positive things either, I've pointed out a few issues here and there when I notice them. Well thank you! I'm glad you like my videos. :)
It's funny you mention that. I'll actually be hitting that beach again this week. :) I don't general go there so much during the summer because we go out to the island on the weekend instead. Once winter gets here, I'll be hitting it more often I'm sure.
+Dennis Sarver They catch whatever iron or steal items or bits that I find. Bottle caps stick sometimes too. I don't use them so much anymore now that I've gotten a little better but after beach hunts there will be tiny bits of iron that were picked up that I didn't even know about! But it's you're digging solid targets, and not crap, you won't need them.
Hi! Love your videos. I'm moving to a beach in a couple months and would like to pick this up as a hobby. You seem to use a lot of different equipment throughout your videos so I thought you would be a good person to ask. Can you recommend a detector that is good for beach and shallow water for under $500? I don't need all the bells and whistles and all the extras but I definitely don't want a cheap piece of junk either. Any thoughts on what brands to stay away from? Seems like some detectors are for the serious hunter and others are promoted and marketed to sucker newbies like myself. Thanks for any info.
Hi! Well thank you! And thanks for watching. That's a great idea! :) As a matter of fact I can! If you plan of hunting MOSTLY in/near/around water, I highly recommend the Tesoro Sand Shark. It's a pulse induction (PI) machine, good to 200 feet deep, not super heavy on the arm, and it's VERY easy to locate the targets. BUT!! You MUST dig everything as this machine doesn't allow you to discriminate out ANYTHING. Check out Kellyco here: www.kellycodetectors.com/catalog/search/result/?c=&q=sand+shark The 1st and 2nd listings are brand new machines. The 1st one has a 10 inch coil and the 2nd one has an 8 inch coil. Both will work wonderfully. The 3rd and 4th listings are used machines. If you get a used one, get the 4th one as it's the 10 inch coil. You'll cover a little more ground with each swing. :) I wouldn't recommend using this machine on land though. It will pick up every tiny bit of metal and you will spend all day digging every tiny bit of foil and such.If you are planning on hunting on land, schools, park, sidewalks, etc. check out the Whites TreasurePro: www.kellycodetectors.com/catalog/treasurepro-spring-bundle This will be a great all around detector. On this machine, ONLY the coil is waterproof, not the entire thing. So you won't be able to go very deep in the water with it and you for sure wouldn't want to accidentally drop it in the water. I hope this helps a bit. :)
10:19 those belonged to a guy that was in my maths class here in South-Africa. He had five of them but many, many years ago lost a few so effectively and completely, no wonder they ended up there. Now I'm just talking nonsense lol but I enjoy your vids.
though I had some problem with sea water It also ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxa-FNYUOM93a388gi9a4brtSCEVmrHgJH land for finding any things very easily. (thought it would work as normal due to it being water proof within certain parts of the detector), on dry land and sand worked well. My first one, so still have lots to learn
I appreciate your attitude and ethics for metal detecting keep up the good work! Nice job bringing home the trash. The more people that do that while metal detecting the better we will all be. Thank you.
+Ventana Hiker Thank you! I try to practice safe detecting. :) I agree, it didn't hurt me any to bring it home and throw it away. :)
Good call picking up the glass, very kind of you! Keep working that area, the old history dictates that there should be some good stuff there! Good luck!
I use to live in New Port Richie and use to swim at that beach! Everyone use to keep tripping on a big hunk of metal and we kept throwing back out to deeper water. You guessed it! That big hunk of metal turned out to be a big hunk of fused together Spanish coins!!!! All the while I owned a Garrett dealership and had detectors in my car! I still haven't stopped kicking my butt for that!
+Glenn Jones Did you really? Hahaha. Did you lose anything I can try finding? And keeping? Hahahahaha. No way! You're joking! Oh wow. So obviously someone found it. Damn..... :/
I just know that old beach has some awesome potential. Lots of old style beaver tail tabs. I would be interested in see what your next hunt finds there. Good luck. Thanks for sharing.
+Mark Rehs I think so to. Well, I hope so! Hahaha. Yea, I'll hit it again but during low tide next time. :) Thanks for watching!
Corroded zinc pennies...the bane of my metal detecting existence! Along with pull tabs. Thanks for the pinpointer demo. I picked up the land or sea for San Diego's rocky, mineralized beaches. HH
+JP Diggzzit Hahaha! You're telling me. You're very welcome. I enjoyed doing it. Fantastic. I don't think you'll be disappointed. There's another short demo in the video I'm loading right now. But it's with junk that I found so not sure if it'll be very helpful. Thanks for watching and HH to you as well!
At about 8 minutes into your video you pulled up an older pulltab. I like finding those because it says two things... 1. The vintage pultab era was a lot closer to the silver era & 2. Nobody has detected there before unless they skipped over the pulltab signals - in which case that's always good because if they skipped the pulltabs they also skipped the gold.
Oh I hadn't thought about it being close to the silver era, that's great thinking though!! Yea, I'll be digging all those pull tab signals for sure. :)
I stumbled across these detecting videos a few days ago, and i must say its nice to see you all not throwing the trash back in the water. :)
+Bobby Williamson I'm glad you found me! And yes, that's a no-no for sure. Metal Detecting 101, take everything you dig, regardless if it's trash or not. :)
You don't want to find the same thing twice.
I have the same exact detector and scoop, the darn scoop is heavier than the detector it looks to be made from stainless steel with a heavy duty shovel handle.
However, my coil is a little different more round and thicker. I wonder if the store I bought mine from swapped out my coil
The Natural Spring is South of the Crystal beach pier, there is another pier a private one just South of where you filmed. It's 20 yards off shore. It's interesting what you are doing, we think we may start dectecting as well it looks fun. Thanks for what you do.
+Jeff Gater Oh is it? See I wasn't sure exactly where the spring was. Now I have a better idea though. Thanks! Oh yea, it's a great hobby. Very fun because you never know what you might find! Thank you for watching.
You are the perfect reason, why Metal detectors should get more credit. People really should look at the trash we pick up, I may not show the trash in my videos I find I think I will start showing the trash as well thank you.
Ms S.D., on a beach like this you prefer Garrett Sea Hunter MK II or Marko Multi Kruzer. Thanks !!!
I have hunted this beach numerous times. I always walk away with several hundred dollars worth of goodies! The secret is to NOT hunt the beach! Hunt the mangrove brushes. When the tide comes in it washes up numerous articals into the mangroves and they just sit there waiting to be discovered! Go back again and follow my advice. Also use a Minelab Excalibur detector. It works better for that beach. Great video!
I love looking at the ocean in your videos and at least you got some glass off the beach. It was fifty six degrees here in Wisconsin were I live and I was finally able to metal detect for the first time this year ! I went out Sat, Sun and Mon and I only got a few tokens and lots of clad but I was a happy camper. Thanks for your video and happy hunting !
+Maurilio Zamora I'm glad you like it. Yes, I saved a few feet for sure! Hey 56 is nice! That's good that you were able to get out! Well that's good, yea better something instead of nothing! HH to you as well and thanks for watching!
What happened to this year's metal detecting? I been watching reruns from 6 yrs ago.
Glad you're back! Nice area love it..but I've never seen anyone put magnets in their scoops..do they add alot of weight?
Love the real ness of your hunt. Thanks for being you!
I think that place has huge potential. Try at low tide. And what about your new detector?
+Jakes Life vlf single freq will only scratch the surface of wet sand... but yeah she can try, it will disapoint you tho
+Jakes Life Good, so it's not just me. Hahaha. I'll be trying again during low tide for sure. I'll take the F19 out the next time. I'm just scared because the box isn't waterproof. But I'll rig something up just in case. :)
+Youdig Oh really? It's funny you say that. I took it out over the weekend for Howard Park and dug three bogus signals in the wet sand. I thought my setting where jacked up but no. That video is coming out tomorrow so you'll see what I'm talking about. I was really hoping it would do well at the beach. Well, it did good on dry sand, not so much the wet stuff. :/
+She Detector like every other vlf single frequency my makro racer go only 5 cm / 2inch deep in wet water for a 1 euro coin, but in dry sand is quite good apparently , from what i saw the only vlf single freq that doing ok in water / wet sand seem to be at pro, after that it in the realm of multrifeq vlf like fbs or bbs system (etrac,excaliburII,sovereign,ctx3030,safari) or pulse induction like your garrett. Btw i dont know how you do to answer this amount of comment !!!! big up for that.
Youdig Ooh really? That's odd that is can't go very deep in the water. I've heard the AT Pro doesn't handle salt water very well but I'm not really sure. Hahaha, well it's getting harder to answer every comment. I might have to start only answering a few! Hehehe, we shall see!
Peers are usually great to detect. A pavilion was built over the water at our lake back in the 1870's and burnt down in the 1960's and all was left were the pylons that it use to sit on. The water was low so I detected around there and found a Morgan silver dollar with the date 1900. My first ! Found a lot of fishing lures and beer caps too ! Hope you go back at low tide. May find something good. Great video as always.
Oh wow, that's incredible! Yea, those fishing items seem to be everywhere. Hahaha. I sure will, that's a positive! :D Thank you! And thanks for watching.
Those ‘space pods’ are lead fishing weights. Lead is valuable at the metal recycling place. Save all your lead, in a small bucket. When you have enough, take it to the metal place for cashola $$$
Hi,another finely shot video,i have a tip for your scoop,if you put your handgrip at the2 oclock position,you can back flick your hand to empty scoop and take the strain off your wrist,it works a treat,,try it at 1 oclock and adjust to whats best for you,2 works best for me. GL HH
Hi! Well thank you! Oh very interesting, I'll look into that. Right now it's at 6 oclock and does pretty good. :)
That beach looks very promising maybe when it gets warmer go out a little further in the swimming area. With the water temp in the high 60's and low 70's its painful for me but refreshing in a way..
+R Adams Yea, I think it will produce...well I hope it will! Haha. Yea, I'll be going back for sure. I'm going to try to hit it during low tide soon and then venture out further once it's warmer.
Where did you get the handle that is attached to your wood handle. I can find the scoop but not the plastic grip that you have on your handle.
I got my Raptor handle from The Gold Digger Metal Detectors. You can find it here: www.thegolddigger.com/product/raptor-pull-handle/ It's a back saver for sure!
What was in the duct tape?? Sometimes people put wrap up keys, jewelry, etc inside it before swimming. Maybe you have treasure in it?
+gaylemae You know, I didn't open it. It was just a tiny wad. I hadn't thought about opening it though. I'll have to remember that for next time though. Hopefully it wasn't a king's jewel or something! Hehehe.
Tampa a little far from me. I live in Los Angeles California and i metal detecting is one of my favorite, sure love to joining with you guys treasure hunting.
+Sam Lampshire Oh wow, yea that's a bit of a drive. Hahaha. Well if you're ever on the East Coast, let me know! GL to you and HH!
thank you for doing this video i enjoyed watching it i just i just bought a new sunpow so this somthing new for me metal decting thanks again
you seem a long way from the water. Is it best at low tide ? high tide ? 10 feet back ?
the only coins I've found were 50' back from mid tide.
Ah yes. It was low tide when I got there so I started where the water usually was and worked my way out into the water. I should have done it the other way of course. I was still pretty new though. I didn't have any luck at this location though.
With the vinegar your using to clean the coins, add a teaspoon of table
salt and stir till dissolved. It only takes minutes to start bubbling then scrub
with a brush. But not for the old good coins, just the clad and pennies.
+wingrovedl I heard about that trick. I'll have to give it a try. It'll be great if it only takes a few seconds or minutes to start working. Thanks for the tip. I'll keep that in mind.
When you scoop up a load of sand, I noticed you ran your detector over the hole to see if you picked up the object. You dumped the sand in the scoop before checking it. You could have multiple objects in the hole. Good hunting!
Yea, that's happened to me a few times. Glad I always check the hole and the dumpings! Hahaha.
Yep that's a 4 inch thick concrete block laid down on its side. Tough diggin there.
Love your videos !! Learned a lot from watching them. I'm just getting into metal detecting because one it's awesome two I have access to tons of untouched historical sites that have a rich history. Keep posting!
Hambone
Thank you! And thanks for watching. I'm glad I'm able to teach you something, even if it's only what NOT to do. Hahaha! That's great that you have access to sites like those. Hunt them slowly. To fast and you could miss something amazing.
so what year did the penny end up being?..oh and the fishing thingys are called sinkers..lol
+stacy wiley Can't tell. It was severely pitted :( But it was shiny on the areas that weren't pitted so I don't think it was very old. Hahaha, good to know! Thanks!
Hey I like your informative videos thanks . Had a question have you tried Ana María beach yet?
I am from Alabama and am wondering about the laws and beach detecting.
space pods .. aka: lead fishing weights :-) Love the vids.. keeps me motivated (along with a few other channels) to get my detector out and keep learning it :-) Keep em' coming.. you have a nice personality for your viewers !
Hi would you tell me where can buy this dig ???
i want buy one to try find some stuff in beach.Thank you
Sure! Kellyco, The Gold Digger Metal Detectors, and probably several other detector retailors. I'm not sure if any ship internationally, not sure if that applies to you or not. Good luck!
It's been a real pleasure to watch you learn this interesting hobby. I'm not a detectorist myself but would like to be, simply can't afford it. I would suggest you watch the videos of Frederick Barnes, a young man from Australia who knows how to find good stuff. I really look forward to seeing you find your first really good piece. Good luck and keep looking down!
+Tom Oller Well I'm glad you've come along for the ride. :) Well it can be pretty expensive that's for sure. I'm sorry you can't join the hunt just yet. I'm sure you will one day. Alright, I'll look him up. Thanks for telling me about him. Hopefully it'll be soon! :D
+She Detector , thanks for the response. I think it's unlikely that I'll ever be able to get into it, (trying to survive on a small social security), but I can enjoy watching you and Tony Eisenhower and all the rest uncovering all sorts of treasure. I'm looking forward to your first good find almost as much as you are, lol. Don't let the meager pickings get you down. Perseverance will pay off and in the meantime you're learning a lot. The very best of luck to you and HH!!!
Tom Oller Oh ok. That's true! I watch other hunters and they find all sorts of awesome things. Hahaha, it'll come one day! I try not to. I know I have to dig a bunch of junk first before I get to the great stuff. I am learning a lot for sure. Thanks!
your scooper handle seems to be getting in your way because its so long?
Yes and no. While on land it can sometimes be a pain but in the deeper water, I need it to be longer so I can reach it while keeping my head above water. :)
THE WATER IS SO PRETTY.I WENT TO THAT BEACH AND I WENT METAL DITECCTING AND I FOUND SOME COOL STUFF.
I like that new location you've found! Am guessing the pier might well have a lot of metal bits left over from the structure and maybe a lot of sinkers? (if the pier was used by lots of fisherman as they so often are) It would be interesting to see what is around that spring - hopefully people used it as a sort of wishing well of sorts? I think those sinkers are maybe called 'torpedo' sinkers? (but I prefer the 'space pod' name a lot better :) I admired your method of using the hole itself to rinse the sand out of Rex in the shallow water to get some water depth with the bonus of putting the soil back in the hole! Look forward to seeing you explore this ex-beach some more. (up at 5am next time? ;-) )
+Simon Burton Yea, I think you're probably right. Lots of dropped nails and suck. that explains the sinkers I found. :) Yea, I'll be heading out to it once it warms back up. Well, so long as it's not crazy deep. I can only swim down about 8 feet. :) But a wishing well springs would be fantastic!! Oh ok, very good to know. Haha yea, I like space pod better also. :) Yep, I figured why work harder when I could work smarter. :) Ha! We will have to see about that!
Hello she detector, Question what is the best scoop placement when detecting in water? for better retrieval. Center point or tip of detector.
That's a great question! You want to put the tip of your scoop about 1-2 inches BEHIND your coil. When you find a target, put your foot behind your coil and then move the coil away. Place your scoop right in front of your toes. That should get the target for you almost every time. :)
She Detector...Thank you your a Jewel.😊
She Detector I was looking at the vid of you on the beach that's not used as a swimming spot or the what use to be the pier and you keep missing it,the same thing happened to me at a beach here in Kirkland Washington juanita beach it seem to keep moving and then i thought it was a false signal then i remembered your vid and the question came to mind. Again thank you for your insite. 😊
Where did you get your T Rex scoop set up and did you have to put the pole on it?
+parsons585 I bought the actually metal scoop part from Myers Metal Detectors here in Tampa. You can order it online to though I think. Here's their link: www.myersdepot.com/ I'm sure tons of places carry the TRex scoops though. I had to buy the wood handle separately though. I got that from Lowes I think. It's a plain Ash handle that tapers at the bottom.
love this video again it's about learning you detector and what it finds. I went detecting on a family members estate. for first time ever I found a Buffalo Nickle 4 inches deep coin to old and corroded for date to be seen. found 5 Penny's all older than 1967. all with tesoro bandito 2. old detector but watching your video till I decide new one. these funds were In SC dirt 4 inches or deeper. wish my land and sea pinpointer was here now. all finds tucked away in my nice gold digger pouch per your videos. thanks Ronnie great product. thank you she detector
That's awesome! Bummer on the date being unreadable though. :( You're very welcome!
How do you like the Land and Sea probe? I been thinking of getting one.
+ChicagoDigger Yes I really love it actually. If you're a beach hunter, I highly recommend it. It doesn't have issues like the Garrett carrot tends to have.
She Detector what issues do the carrots have
Just a tip - I noticed you are often off the mark when you go to scope or dig an item. Put down some items in plain sight and practice, noticing where they hit on your coil. As you now have two detectors - practice with both until you know the sweet spots. A few years of this and I still miss targets though so don't let it bother you if you're out a few inches ;) I'm from Canada - no detecting in the winter :(
+Digger D Yea, this hunt seemed like I needed three scoops for every target. And I was starting to get good about not missing my targets too :/ Ah well! Thanks for the tips! Yea, I bet it's pretty cold up there right now. Try to stay warm!
I just recently stumbled across your channel and I'm in love
Well I'm glad you found me! :D Thank you for watching!
Hello, nice video. Can you provide a link to those magnets you use on the scoop? Also, did you simply place them on the scoop or are they secured to the scoop somehow? Thanks for your help and keep up the good work.
Hi! Thank you! And thanks for watching. I believe we picked them up from an ACE Hardware. But you can get similar ones from Lowes, Home Depot, or any other hardware store. They aren't anything fancy. Just make sure to get some with a hole in the middle so you can run zip ties through them to secure them to your scoop.
little tip for ya, best places to look at a beach is where the grass and sand meet , where the towels were laid on the sand.
+clark davis Very good tip! Thank you! And thanks for watching.
Please tell me where you got your shovel /scooper! I have been looking for one and cannot find one??
Oh of course! I got mine from The Gold Digger Metal Detectors. Here's the link to it: www.thegolddigger.com/product/t-rex-8-wide-wet-stainless-steel-sand-scoop/ It's a wonderful scoop! :)
Awesome vid, what camera are you shooting with? I am hoping to start shooting vids myself. I'm considering the GoPro Hero 4 Session. Thanks for sharing GL & HH.
+Cladiator Max Thank you! It's a GoPro Hero 4 Silver. Very cool. I highly recommend the Hero 4. It's got great quality and the battery lasts about 2 hours. The session is probably really great too. I've not seen any videos but I don't think it would be any worse than mine, better if anything. Thanks for watching! GL and HH to you as well.
Cool video. I just stared metal detecting and making videos. My first time was in Germany, I found so many WW2 relics. Tomorrow I am going to hunt a Florida beach for the first time with my new garret AT pro!
Thank you! Oh awesome, welcome to the hobby! Wow that's awesome, good job! Hopefully you find something awesome at the beach. :)
At this stage in the game I'm happy finding a penny....it's the little things :)
Schatzsucher - Metal Detecting Hahaha well trust me, a penny will always be nice. I'm still happy to find pennies. I just wish they weren't completely corroded due to the salt water.
She Detector
hi great video , you should replace the scoop handle with a shorter T shape hande , will lighten the scoop aswell .
Hi! Thank you! And thanks for watching! Yea, I've heard about that. I just got a carbon fiber handle which lighten the load a bit. :)
The two "toothy things" are fence staples, for nailing wire to a wood post. The long fishing weight is a weight from a cast net, The "pointy thing" looks like it might be a hypo needle from a shot.
+cactus rat Oh really? Very interesting! I never even thought about it being from a cast net, you're probably right about that though. Eww, yikes!
Nice vid and I had to chuckle when you wanted to "bust out the hammer to crack open the nail thingy" then again you know what they say, "when in doubt, bust out the hammer"! Hehe.............Nice location also you're lucky to have such nice beaches so close by.
May I make a suggestion also about detecting locations?
Now I dont know if legal in the US but where I am it is. Primary Schools or any Schools with play equipment paricularly Mulch or Tan Bark base play equipment. Ive pulled out 20 silver coins (rare for Australia compared to US) and well over $500 in clad in two months so far, anyway just a suggestion. HH and GL
+flash more Thank you! Hahaha, yes, very technical terms. Lol. Yea, I can't complain to much. Even if I'm only finding junk, at least I'm at the beach!Of course, I'm always open to tips and tricks. Wow really? That's a lot of coinage! I do plan to hunt the school playgrounds but I'm waiting until summer when all the kids and teachers are gone. I've not seen anything that says I can hunt on school grounds but I've also not seen anything that say's I can't. :)
It is good to see more girls metal detecting, I do meter detect twice a week it is something that I enjoy doing, I love your videos, nice finds!
For sure! Girls can get dirty too! :) That's great that you're able to get out twice a week at least. I usually only get to go once and it's on the weekends. :/ oh well! Better once than never. Well thank you! And thanks for watching.
Another great video what year was the coin
+Luther Ardinger Thank you! not sure, it was to pitted to tell. But the parts there weren't pitted were shiny so I don't think it was very old.
How much this cost and can this find all kind of metals ?
This machine, Garrett Sea Hunter Mark II, runs about $650 at most places. Some might be a bit more but those usually have extra gear like an extra coil. It will find all kinds of metal especially if your discrimination is set to zero.
great videos! I'd grab the f19 and some coins and do some testing on how they ring up , test ,test ,test. then hunt some sports fields, I have the best luck there. can't wait to see you hit gold!
+TheCleanist Thank you! Yea, I was learning some sounds over the weekend, that video is coming out tomorrow. I'll try hitting that field again, away from the bleachers though. Maybe I'll find something. :)
Nice video Misses She Detector. Sorry you didn't have much luck. Hopefully soon you will be able to surprise us all with a great find take care 😃
+Food Stamp Thank you! Yea, but that's alright. Next time I'll come with the F19 and get in the water again. :) I sure hope so.
She Detector Hope you find something awesome on your next hunt take care.
Just bought a mx sport . I need to get out and use it . Thanks for your hard work
great video , you have a lot of patience & good slow sweep with your coil,I use a sea hunter myself gerat machine, great machine , but you pretty much have to dig everything, its found me some nice gold rings,just keep doing what your doing, & when you least expect it wham!!! You'll hit a big one "you go girl"!!?
+CRF 2012 Thank you! Yes, I agree it's great at finding the smaller and deepest targets, I just wish they were gold. Hahaha! Yea, you're probably right. I'll be thinking it's another pull tab and it wont be. Thanks for watching!
Good video do you ever go to the ship wreck beaches to detect, I've seen them on TV and they can find some nice stuff jewelry and gems and gold I know they are some were in Florida, good hunting regards Tom
+Tom Larkins thank you. Not sure which beaches are the ship wreck ones. Do you know any names? I know there are shipwrecks off in the gulf and sometimes there are stories of stuff washing up here and there. I'll be hitting a few of the islands off the coast this summer. I'm hoping to find something there. :)
+She Detector 1715 Spanish treasure fleet on the east coast of FL is the biggest I believe...Treasure Coast. Hit it after a hurricane or big storm if you ever get the chance to go over. Good books on it...Kip Wagner, Pieces of Eight.
JP Diggzzit Ah yes, makes sense. I'll see what I can find out. Thanks!
9:11 'Curiouser and curiouser!” Cried Alice as she kept digging deeper and deeper and deeper ... 3 times deep in fact, down that rabbit hole.
Lol!
What happened to your new fisher machine? I would think you would try it in the water. I also like your shoes. Are they keeping out the sand from getting into the shoes? I use sandals from crocks shoes and sand keeps building up under my foot. I see you also running into the glass. I was informing you to have gloves on due to finding sharp objects.
HH GL & God bless
+Gregory M Actually this hunt took place on the same day that I first took my Fisher out. I hunted the beach in the morning and then hit the park next. I just uploaded my Fisher video first. :) But I'm hesitant to take it near the water, only the coil and shaft is waterproof. I need to tape a bag around the box first...or something. Lol. Thank you, they are way better than no shoes. I'm very glad I had them at this dangerous beach! But they don't keep the sand out. Shells don't get in though so that's good. I have the same issue except it builds up under the shoe insert. No biggie, I rinse them out when I have to. Yes you were, I still haven't gotten better gloves yet. :( Soon! HH to you as well!
Watching you lift the basket full of wet sand reinforces my personal decision to never arm wrestle with you...
(I would have to leave town)😂
Be Blessed,little granddaughter...😇🌹🌹🌹
Finding pull tabs and bottle caps is like a type of modern archaeology. If you want old things you need to go where people use to hang out in the 1800s if you can find a place like that it will be good.
Its tough detecting in the states. Hard pressed to find coins and jewelry. I moved abroad and they have never seen a metal detector before, they think i'm a marine biologist. No hunt is without reward. Even though it's the thrill of the hunt and daily exercise. I hope you find that jackpot one day.
Yea, there are usually many other hunters to compete with so it can be difficult for sure. Hahaha wow really? That's great, more treasure for you! Yea it's fun just to get out and hunt but it's even better when you find something awesome! Thanks for watching.
Hi am new and I love how you take your time to find crazy things and I love your videos 😄
Hi! Well thank you for watching! :) I really enjoy digging things up and seeing what it is. You really never know what it's going to be. :)
the weights are called sinkers. I would like to see if the spring is still flowing, so yes, do go back. 8)
+Gary Bennett Thanks, I'll try to remember that. Yea for sure. Once it warms up I'll try getting to it. Not sure how deep it is or really where exactly. But it'll be cool looking for it. :)
what it's called the laundry object you use to collect the stuff on the beach
and were i can buy?
It's the Deluxe Treasure Pouch with Zippers and it's sold by The Gold Digger Metal Detectors. You can check it out here: www.thegolddigger.com/product/gold-digger-deluxe-beach-pouch-w-zippers/
That hermit crab was really bookin it away! The wood from that pier could have rotted away years ago leaving the nails and bolts behind. It would be less frustrating in that particular spot to use a machine that can ignore iron.
+John Davis Haha yea. I think I scared it. That's true, I hadn't thought about that. :/ Yea, I'll have to go back with my new Fisher. That will be fun!
Great spot there. Try it again at low tide. I bet it's better then.
+dcox01 Yea, I'll be doing that for sure. Maybe this weekend, we shall see!
Here in Massachusetts we call the lead fishing weights "sinkers" I don't know if others do too or if that's a Massachusetts slang for lead weights.
+bodiejay2859 Hahaha, I think people here in Florida call them that too. I like using extremely technical terms like "this fishy thingy". Lol!
Crystal beach Ontario??
Subscribed. Good video, excellent presentation. You're doing a good thing for the hobby.
+White's Electronics, Inc. Thank you! And thank you for watching!
If you add plain table salt to the vinegar, it will help with removing corrosion from cupronickel coins. It'll solve the problem that baking soda presents.
+NC9ballguy Oh very nice. I'll have to try that on my next messed up coin. Thanks for the tip!
What kind of coin was it?
+Ginger Wray It was a penny. Couldn't get a date off it though. It was very damaged.
my comment if I wanted to bay the mital detictor how much the praise?
You can get a brand new one from www.kellycodetectors.com/catalog/search/result/?c=&q=sea+hunter for $600. :) They also currently have a floor demo one for $510. It's a used machine.
I just got a TRex scoop haven't used it yet.
+swatnc Oh good! It's a great scoop. Very sturdy. :)
Do you use also the garret infinium ?
I've not used that one before, no. I've heard good things about it though.
what's the shovel she's using?
It's a T-Rex sand scoop. Here's a link to it: www.thegolddigger.com/t-rex-sand-scoops/ I have the 8 inch since it's smaller and easier for me to use.
a tip for using that detector in the future: when you find an item swing the coil over it and hold your detector over it then to pinpoint it pull your detector back until you don't hear the signal then your item should be at the front of the detector
Jake Henry I do that too. I've been watching detecting vids all morning and only one person used that technique. I guess she doesnt because she has that pinpointer handheld. I still do it anyway
Sorry! Meant to say I found the scoop without the handle! I want the complete thing like yours!
+parsons585 Yea, the place I bought my scoop from doesn't sell it with the handle but I think you could buy it online somewhere with the handle. It'll cost you though. Also, I got the Raptor Pull Handle from The Gold Digger Metal Detectors. Here's their link: golddiggermetaldetectors.com/raptor.php
Thank you! I like your set up! Do you wear special foot protection for wading? Trying to get started so getting all the advice I can from you folks who have been hunting awhile! I retired from Disney and moved up to Georgia so I will be hunting some of these beaches along the Georgia/Carolina coasts plus go to Florida occasionally!
+parsons585 You're very welcome. Nothing special. I bought some water shoes from walmart for like $10. They won't protect me from getting stung by a stingray but lets just hope that never happens! Hahaha. All the other beach hunters I've seen do wear special shoes though. I think they are diving shoes that actually cover your ankles. They are about 6-8 inches tall with a zipper on the side. Those will keep a sting ray barb from going into your skin, or so they say. When I first started, I didn't even have a sand scoop. I was using a shovel. Lol. It wasn't very efficient. But it worked. Then after a little bit I bought a scoop. To get started, really all you need is a detector and a tiny shovel. You'll be slower and less efficient but there's nothing wrong with that. As you do it longer, you'll start trying different things and buying items that will increase your speed. Congrats on retiring! At least you're starting a hobby that will keep you busy and off the couch. Plus, who wouldn't want to spend their days on the beach? :D
Thanks again! Keep those videos coming! I enjoy them!
That looked like a tuff work out. Good show.
I always enjoy watching your videos! I would have tried the area out of the water first on this hunt to get an idea of what might be there. Just my 2 cents. I have a name for your Fisher machine.."Sweeper". lol Just a thought! HH Greg from Palm Coast
+Gregory Hux Well thank you! That's a good idea. Hahaha, that's a good one. I'll have to add it to my list of potential names. :) HH to you Greg. Thanks for watching!
Have you named the f19 ?
+TheCleanist Not yet. Any thoughts on a good name?
Pleased to see im not the only one who digs ringpulls, subbed you, all the best from the U.K beaches :)
Hahaha, no you're not my friend! I'm right there with you. :D Thank you subscribing! And for watching. :D
i read this as "no, your not my friend" i was like oooo snap she told him off
lmao i thought the same at first ;)
I hunted there about 6 years ago. My finds were similar with the addition of 2 dog tags (K-9). Lots of trash and not very productive. At that point, it was used mostly as a dog beach and it smelled like it.
+willied557 Oh yea? Well at least you found something cool. I would have been happy with dog tags. Lol. Yea, it's hit with dogs every day. Every time I've been there were several dogs playing with each other and in the water. But, that means what ever might have been there is gone already :(
I'm curious. Do you work as a product demonstrator for various companies? I don't mean to be so nosy but I think that if this is true than you have a dream job. Your videos are so informative and cover a semi-wide range of products that I'm somewhat envious. I think your videos are great and always await the next one.
+Dean Hansen I do not. Well not yet anyways, no telling what the future holds. :) I would love it if that were my job! I work a normal job mon-fri though :/ Well I started off buying the Sea Hunter, my scoop, and the Garrett pin pointer myself. I contacted the makers of my scoop (The Gold Digger Metal Detectors) and asked if they would be interested in sponsoring me. They said yes and sent me the Land or Sea, the Digger Pouch, and the Raptor Handle. They also sent a second Land or Sea and Digger Pouch for me to use for giveaways. Later on I was contacted by First Texas Texas (they make Teknetics, Bounty Hunter, and Fisher detectors) asking if I'd be interested in testing out their F19 LTD Pink Camo Metal Detector. I immediately jumped on that! So I get to play with these toys and I just talk about them and promote them a little bit. I don't just say positive things either, I've pointed out a few issues here and there when I notice them. Well thank you! I'm glad you like my videos. :)
I lived in tarpon springs! Thanks for the videos
I love it here! :) Thanks for watching.
any idea how old the stinkin lincoln was ?
+Skankpronger No, but I don't think it was very old. The parts that weren't pitted were shiny so it can't have been very old.
Why isn't the beach in use any more (first video!)
It's funny you mention that. I'll actually be hitting that beach again this week. :) I don't general go there so much during the summer because we go out to the island on the weekend instead. Once winter gets here, I'll be hitting it more often I'm sure.
+She Detector Oh well I hope you find good things👍👍
She Detector was that two turtles in the background?
yep my two favorite Muppets beaker and animal. but beaker , seeker and squeaker sound great too. keep up the great vids , gold heading your way soon
+TheCleanist I agree! Thanks! I sure will. :)
I do metal detecting to save up for my model railroad, which is very expensive! I went here and made about a dollar worth of coins
what are the magnets for?
+Dennis Sarver They catch whatever iron or steal items or bits that I find. Bottle caps stick sometimes too. I don't use them so much anymore now that I've gotten a little better but after beach hunts there will be tiny bits of iron that were picked up that I didn't even know about! But it's you're digging solid targets, and not crap, you won't need them.
She Detector Okay, makes sense. Thanks for quick reply.I'm located on the East Coast near Boca Raton. Most of my hunting is done at Deerfield Beach.
Denny Sarver You're welcome! Oh ok, very nice!
Hi! Love your videos. I'm moving to a beach in a couple months and would like to pick this up as a hobby. You seem to use a lot of different equipment throughout your videos so I thought you would be a good person to ask. Can you recommend a detector that is good for beach and shallow water for under $500? I don't need all the bells and whistles and all the extras but I definitely don't want a cheap piece of junk either. Any thoughts on what brands to stay away from? Seems like some detectors are for the serious hunter and others are promoted and marketed to sucker newbies like myself. Thanks for any info.
Hi! Well thank you! And thanks for watching. That's a great idea! :) As a matter of fact I can! If you plan of hunting MOSTLY in/near/around water, I highly recommend the Tesoro Sand Shark. It's a pulse induction (PI) machine, good to 200 feet deep, not super heavy on the arm, and it's VERY easy to locate the targets. BUT!! You MUST dig everything as this machine doesn't allow you to discriminate out ANYTHING. Check out Kellyco here: www.kellycodetectors.com/catalog/search/result/?c=&q=sand+shark The 1st and 2nd listings are brand new machines. The 1st one has a 10 inch coil and the 2nd one has an 8 inch coil. Both will work wonderfully. The 3rd and 4th listings are used machines. If you get a used one, get the 4th one as it's the 10 inch coil. You'll cover a little more ground with each swing. :) I wouldn't recommend using this machine on land though. It will pick up every tiny bit of metal and you will spend all day digging every tiny bit of foil and such.If you are planning on hunting on land, schools, park, sidewalks, etc. check out the Whites TreasurePro: www.kellycodetectors.com/catalog/treasurepro-spring-bundle This will be a great all around detector. On this machine, ONLY the coil is waterproof, not the entire thing. So you won't be able to go very deep in the water with it and you for sure wouldn't want to accidentally drop it in the water. I hope this helps a bit. :)
10:19 those belonged to a guy that was in my maths class here in South-Africa. He had five of them but many, many years ago lost a few so effectively and completely, no wonder they ended up there.
Now I'm just talking nonsense lol but I enjoy your vids.
oh yea? Well his loss was my gain! Hahaha. Well, a gain if you like finding junk. :D Well thank you!
Robert Ferguson is cool, he's taught me a lot!
Great finds well done . I subbed your channel as I had not come across you before.
